And this was the ugliest "squat" you have ever seen. Hannibal looked at me like he thought I was going to split in two after I racked it, and spatts said "Did you hear that?!?"
Apparently, my back popped rather loudly as I did a combination gm/squat. After we got done squatting, all 3 of us spent a good 45 minutes working on my squat form.
Gonna take a step or two backwards, get more flexible, and learn how to squat in a fashion that won't kill me.

No, I wish we did. The camera was being difficult last night, and we missed my last attempt, and spatts' PR.
If I had it, I'd post it. LOL

Nevermind...I have a key. I'm coming over to THROW YOU DOWN.
...and NO that was not to be taken as a come-on!
My key is inside the grill outside of my back door...on the patio....
I'll be waiting...

I finally got my Fury in last week, and tried it out for the first time on Sunday. Goes on easy because my arms are 12" unflexed, 15" flexed. Seems to be tight enough, but it's definitely a learning curve.
I can get 265 off the 2 board, and can press 243. Considering my raw max is 232...not too impressive yet.
Once I can learn the groove, I think the shirted numbers will make a pretty decent jump.
Your strengths are reversed too. You have a weaker lokout, where the shirt helps less, and are stronger where the shirt helps more.
I'm the opposite. Strong lockout. I can really maximize the utility of the shirt. I'm getting at least 50 pounds out of the shirt. Possibly more.

Okay, here's what I don't understand about that.
I went back through this thread, and looked up my PR's:
Floor press: 210
2 board: 265
3 board: 287
4 board: 320
CG 4 board: 254x3
CG lockout: 331
On the surface, to my novice eye, this looks like a fairly normal progression, whereas your lockout is MUCH higher than your board presses. Are you saying that if there was a bigger jump in the numbers, with a stronger lockout, that I'd get more out of the shirt? Just not sure what you mean by my strengths are reversed.
Also, I went back over my shirt videos last night, and noticed something which may or may not be of note. When I'm bringing the bar down, the bar seems to drop much quicker, in a non-controlled fashion, at about the same point I seem to stall when pressing upward. It's hard to tell from the video, but it looks to me to be at about 2 or 3 board height.
Mean anything to anyone?
